House passed a bill to extend enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies for three more years by a vote of 230–196. Seventeen Republicans crossed party lines to support Democrats, signaling growing resistance to Donald Trump’s influence. The motion to reconsider was immediately tabled without objection, making the vote final.
At the same time, the Senate unanimously agreed to move forward with a plaque honoring law enforcement officers who defended the Capitol on January 6th, despite opposition from MAGA-aligned House Republicans. Senator Tom Tillis, who is not seeking reelection, played a key bipartisan role.
The Senate also passed a war powers resolution limiting Trump’s ability to take military action in Venezuela, with several Republicans joining Democrats.
Across Congress, Republican lawmakers are increasingly speaking out—on NATO, Greenland, and democratic norms—showing visible cracks in Trump’s control as the midterms approach.
